The following post is reprinted from the upcoming Fall 2015 SRCC Neighborhood Newsletter and written by Colleen Theriot of the Norwood Park Foundation:
Have you been up on the hill at Norwood lately? The site of the house is looking great and the Norwood Park Foundation is moving steadily forward in its mission to restore and repurpose the Norwood House for everyone. In June, we wrapped up Phase 1 of the project and filed our completion report with the City. Phase 1 represents years of effort and several hundred thousand dollars in gifts and other private funding toward the project. What did Phase 1 achieve? For the house: environmental remediation, a brand-new foundation on piers drilled to bedrock, moving of the bungalow (twice, in our case) to its correct historic location, and complete stabilization and bracing of the wood structure. “Norcliff†is now completely dried in with temporary roofing, and the old walls are protected with sheathing and paint. No more deterioration for this Arts & Crafts landmark!
The following post comes from Charlotte Bell for the upcoming Fall 2015 SRCC Neighborhood Newsletter:
Our annual neighborhood art trail is coming up! This is a grassroots art show, created by and for the artists of Austin. Each year showcases some of the city’s longest practicing artists as they open up their homes and studios to the public. Highlights of the show include the Travis Heights Elementary School Arts Program (parents and children from the school display and sell “kid†art as a way to fundraise for the school art program), a literary house at the Fairview on Newning Ave. featuring localauthors with book readings and signings, a music house on Travis Heights Blvd. featuring Fulmore Junior High music students, and art cars with a mini car parade and cars featured at various houses. More information can be found on the website, travisheightsarttrail.org.

No matter how much (or how little) time you are looking to commit, SRCC has unique leadership roles open to help continue to make us the most informed and engaged neighborhood in Austin!
